Do high protein powders for muscle gain cause irritability?
I started taking Elite (TM) Whey Protein Isolate to gain muscle mass. After the first day I've noticed I am always feeling irritable or on-edge. Is this a common side effect of high protein supplements?
9 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoAre proper spelling, grammar, and sentence structure important to effective written communication?
I have long held the belief that the writer has a responsibility to effectively communicate what he/she intends; and that spelling, grammar, and sentence structure are part of that responsibility. In the last decade, however, it seems people simply do not care about the quality of their writing. It seems that today’s writers, of either formal or informal communication, are not concerned with how their writing is perceived. Should we simply give up and accept that it's the reader's responsibility to figure out what the writer is trying to say? Or should we hold people (especially our children, their teachers, and public figures) accountable by correcting them?

4 AnswersAberdeen1 decade agoWhich is more efficient at making electricity: solar panels or thermal electric (Peltier) chips?
By the square inch of surface, which can produce more electricity: solar panels or thermal electric chips (otherwise known as Peltier effect chips)?
For an explanation of TEC's (Peltier Effect modules) see:
http://www.fujitaka.com/pub/peltier/english/thermo...
It seems to me that TEC's (thermal electric chips), which convert heat to electricity as the heat moves from one side of the chip to the other, could effectively be used in place of solar panels. The question is whether there would be a reason for doing so.
It is common knowledge that modern-day solar panels, while much more efficient than in the past, are still a poor energy value because they are not very efficient and still are costly.
I am interested in experimenting with a TEC panel, cooled on the back side with recirculating water (rain water and grey water).
Any first-hand knowledge, thoughts, or ideas?

11 AnswersMarriage & Divorce1 decade agoMy mother lives only on Social Security. Is there rental assistance available in New Orleans?
My mother's only source of income is Social Security. Isn't there a program that helps pay for apartment rent? She lives in New Orleans.
My sister and I help with supplemental health insurance, car insurance, gas money, etc., but it's still tough on her.
The Housing Authority of New Orleans said they quit doing the rental assistance program? But I thought it was a federal program.

1 AnswerEngineering1 decade agoWhat immigration policy stance will Obama take? Amnesty? Guest worker?
I have heard so little from Obama regarding his policy stance on what to do with the illegal immigrants currently in the US. Is Obama for an amnesty program? A guest worker program? Or what?
Now that we are in such a recession and are facing rising unemployment, will Obama's immigration policy likely lean toward protecting jobs for citizens?

2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoShould Americans who buy at Wal-Mart be angry at China?
Leading up to the 2008 Olympics we read and hear so many news stories about people who are angry with China and wish to boycott or disrupt the Olympics in China because of human rights issues, internet censorship issues, or political issues.
But I ask this:
Where was all this indignation when we were spending all our money on cheap goods made in China?
Where was all this indignation when we were sending all of our manufacturing jobs to China?
Where was all this indignation when those who wish to protest China last went shopping at Wal-Mart?
6 AnswersOlympics1 decade agoMyanmar will not allow aid workers into the country. Why don't the US & other countries just air-drop supplies
I don't understand why, since aid workers can't enter Myanmar, governments and aid groups don't just air-drop food, water, portable shelters, etc.?
Is there really a risk the planes would be shot down? If so, why has this idea and its risks not been on the news.
It seems that the plight of the victims of the cyclone is only being talked about in terms of how bad the government is. We all know how oppressive the government is. I just want to know what we can do to get help to the victims.
